Ellsworth Huntington is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Ellsworth Huntington as American geographer (1876-1947).
Ellsworth Huntington was born at Galesburg in 1876. His recorded nationality is United States.
Nineteenth-century exploration turned inland - Africa, Asia and Australia - and was entangled from the start with empire, missions and the geographical societies that funded it.
He is recorded as geopolitical analyst, geographer and economist.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: honorary doctor of the Clark University.
Ellsworth Huntington died in 1947, aged 71. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
